Read offline
Recommendation
The author of this inspirational career guide is a black female managing director at a top Wall Street investment bank. And if that weren’t enough, she’s also a recording artist and gospel singer in her spare time. Carla A. Harris emphasizes developing your “authentic self” in the workplace, setting your career plan and taking responsibility for your professional advancement. She also tells a great personal story in this realistic, readily accessible book, summarizing her insights as “Carla’s Pearls” at the end of each chapter. While her advice may ring familiar tones with most corporate veterans, Harris says her book will boost “women, women of color, and anyone (men, too) who desires to maximize their potential and claim their power in a professional environment.” getAbstract wholeheartedly concurs and considers this worthwhile material, particularly for those who seek guidance and encouragement at the start of their careers.
